anyways I guess this is where I stop being a coward and actually post a few of my practice pages of learning how to draw ducks; official reference sheets and animator/comic guides have been invaluable in teaching me how these ducks work

been thinking a lot about communal living and communal parenting which means I’ve been reading the Supernuclear substack since I found it and I can’t stop thinking about this post about raising several babies in a small intentional community. Supernuclear is by these people who started the community, Radish, and talks about the nuts and bolts of starting and running Radish (rules, financials, community building) as well as featuring stories about what worked and didn’t work in other communities. im thinking through the class assumptions of Radish, and some of the other communities Supernuclear features sound frankly unpleasant (thinking of this expensive- and disorganized-sounding college-dorm-ass small weed farm)
BUT! as someone who wants babies but is really scared about how demanding it is with the State Of Everything, i LOVE this post. Radish has “baby happy hour” every day when the babies are picked up from daycare and they hang out in the communal area with other people in the community. parents can spontaneously ask to leave a baby monitor with other folks so they can go out without paying for a sitter after their kid is asleep. “Even with a newborn, we see friends 5-7 nights a week. We go out to dinners and parties on a whim. And we have a dozen friends who are invested in our kid, share in their milestones, and feel 100% comfortable watching them for a hour or even a weekend.” girl the dream…….

Rand is sooo mad that Moiraine is there it is actually so funny. Min goes “Moiraine—” and immediately he’s like UGH and goes on a rant. When he finishes his paragraph Moiraine appears with a dramatic flair like she’s been waiting for the most opportune time to insert herself from out of nowhere into their conversation. She gives him fanart of himself. He tells her to burn it. She bought it with her own money days ago and has been holding on to it. He says that having the dragon banner on full display is inviting people to kill him. She has shored up the stick it’s held on. She says people are going to be killing him anyway. He accuses her of sending a babysitter to manipulate him. She tells him that though he may be surprised to hear it not everything in her life revolves around him. She is a revered and respected figure to everyone else. He is seething every time she shows up. Min is sitting awkwardly next to them during their entire conversation.

One of the most growing up experiences and discovering you’re neurodivergent ever is just
“There’s a word for that!” tm
The second most experience is
“Oh I’m not terrible, I’ve just got this disorder that I either cannot help or currently don’t have the right support to mitigate”
